Hey guys...

For the Nspire contest entry few days ago, I submitted a very early (and buggy, then) version of the game engine that now powers my 90% finished BreakOut Game (like DX-Ball), (a "Casse-Brique" in french).

here are some screenshots :



It's compatible with the document player.

Video :


- The levels are for now randomly generated.
- The text on the top left part is just for debugging right now, and bonuses stats will be in the sidebar.

Controlling the paddle is either via moving the cursor (which means you can control it with the mouse if you're playing it on the document player or on the software), or the arrows.

This game is fully open-source, and you can find it all on GitHub : https://github.com/adriweb/Nspire-BreakOut/blob/master/BreakOut.lua

Download the game here (right click -> save target)

You can play it online here (but it won't be the latest version) : http://tinyurl.com/3uhc4p8 (TI's Document Player ; might not work for a long time since the .tns is on a temp directory)

THis is nice. As suggested on IRC' however, you should maybe increase the movement speed by like 4 pixels intervals though and make the touchpad controls an option, so they don't get in the way when you decide to use d-pad ones.

Also maybe some background images? (a lot of the Nspire Lua games usually looks simple compared to Bobby Carrot for example)

Thanks for the comments.

By the way, I'm not saying anything here, but the next version of the OS, which will have much more improved Lua stuff, will have some things that would allow the development of this game (this kind of game I'd say) faster, smoother for the end-user, and probably more memory-efficient...
That's vague, yes, but I'm forced to use the 3.0 Lua API when I know there are some great additions that could be great time-savers.... arg

Looks nice

(and thanks for the credit )

Looks nice!  Its great that the CX has so much memory to fit many wonderful games!

Thanks to you all

I added a video to Youtube to show you what it looks like :

No, don't worry the speed is adjusted right, but on the software, since everything is going faster, it gives the impression that it's even unplayable lol but don't worry

Looks nice Adriweb
